Although wind and solar proponents still claim costs are falling, the reality is the opposite. Offshore wind developers, especially, are clamoring to renegotiate contracts they signed previously, including guaranteed price adjustments for increasing costs, and relaxing the domestic content requirement so they can claim the additional 10% ITC.

Despite spiraling deficits – almost $2 trillion in the fiscal year that ended this past October – green energy subsidies will be financed with still more government debt. With the increase in interest rates to normal levels, financing costs will soar, adding an estimated $500 to $800 billion to the bill costs, almost as much as the subsidies themselves.

I don’t believe this. Green energy is “cheap” and “unlimited” and I cannot be convinced otherwise.

    thanks for engaging. i think we agree on many of these things. the only difference I’ll lean into is that this piece correspondes to legislation.

    I think it does correspond as I described. Should it? Another thing we agree on.
